    I have put 30 plus hours into the game playing on hard. the first three hours of this game is atrocious with constant stopping of gameplay for dialogue and janky cutscenes and an endless amount of tutorial boxes popping up.
    but after leaving the tutorial area and going into the actual world I was having a blast. the exploration is fun finding loot to craft into stronger weapons or scraping for more materials to craft. I haven't been this intrigued by loot since borderlands. the way you can customize the weapons give it a unique look that make it feel more personal than most games. I wish more games can adopt this crafting system like dying light 2.
    The world is gorgeous in motion and have really foo draw distance it was cool seeing an area then realizing i cant o in there yet till i required the right gear for the element. I felt like so far I have been always working towards something. the music is enjoyable to and enemies have been nicely scattered through the world(although i dont think they respawn in certain area but i believe they are working on a patch).
    the combat is where i have had the most fun. it was really janky and bare bones at first but once i unlocked the wung fu combos for the gun and weapon i was using and earned a few abilities that complemented the way i play combat became a lot more smooth and fun. I do warn that this game isnt a hack and slash game or it will feel janky. once you are in a attack animation you have to finish the attack so you should be more methodical with you button inputs.
    The story is probably the weakest aspect with it being straight forward and there just to string you along the world. if you are playing just for main quest story the game is not for you. I personally have enjoyed some of the character I have came across exploring and usually found worth while upgrades, loot, mounts or mini bosses through exploration.
    the game has some jank and flaws but if im being honest I am having more fun with this game than the last few openworld I have purchased for 60$ (AC Valhalla and Fenix Rising) so I dont mind the price point comparing it off of those AAA games    … Expand

    I was hyped before the launching and then after some reviews I got little bit sad to buy the game. Even though I bought it and for my surprising I love it. It is true the narrative is not good but I liked to explore the world to find new items and craft some awesome weapons.

    The game is good and the best price for it would be US 40.

This doesn't take away from the game, but is a weird choice considering how the story is presented. There are so many places to explore and things to experience in this game that you'll be playing it for 50+ hours in no time.

    Mi mayor problema con este juego es que el gameplay es aburrido, No puedo fijar yo la mira, cuando golpeo a un enemigo no siento esa sensacion de que le he hecho daño
    Por otro lado el juego cuesta 60 y no parece que esta completo las texturas parecen que las compraron en una pagina por ahi y las agregaron al juego

    No where near as bad as what people are saying, not sure what people were expecting. I'd give it a 7/10 myself, but putting 10 to counter the ridiculous 0s from people expecting every release to be a billion dolla AAA game (and even a lot of those suck anyway, cough cough AC Valhalla)

    This game is one of the most mediocre open world games out there. Its empty with repetitve fetch quests, the combat feels weightless with horrible audio design and the story/moral system is laughable. This is not worth $60.

    This game is definitely meant for a niche of fans that miss the Rareware games of old. The combo strings are fluid and the crafting is fun. My only two complaint is the narrator when I could understand the language. After switching it to Russian I immediately started enjoying it more and just read the subtitles.

The art style and music are great, the graphics are fine, and I think the choice of a narrator brings a certain charm and an obviously different approach to the game than what people were expecting. The gameplay itself is simple. The “skill trees” aren’t very deep and are pretty straightforward, so there’s only so much variety between classes. Crafting is also easy enough to where you don’t stress over managing your materials, and you gain enough materials throughout exploring that you get to make changes often enough. The combat targeting/aiming could use some improvement, but once you learn to work with it and not against it fights go smoother.    … Expand

    Самая главная проблема игры это дисбаланс разнообразия. Вроде как лута очень много, а вот приемов боя и сценариев захвата аванпостов мало. Масштабности при захвате аванпоста нет.
    Крафт: нашел вещи в самом начале, периодически обновляю заплатки и на другие поменять и не получается, эти имба.
    Система кармы не работает в сюжете. Био и пси приемы слабые..
    Диалоги....я иногда вообще не понимаю, что несут за чушь эти ушастые.

    Но в целом мир красивый, спецэффекты сочные, разнообразие примитивных головоломок.
    Рассказчик иногда говорит что-то не в попад, но при условии, что наш ГГ всегда молчит, то без комметов рассказчика было бы вообще скучно.

    Never before have I seen a game being treated this unfairly by our beloved professional game journalists.
    Biomutant surely is no masterpiece but it´s still a fun game.
    Exploration and crafting is great. Combat is ok once you get the hang of it.
    Biomutant is little rough around the edges but don´t let that fool you. You can still spend dozens of hours in this world without regretting it.

But I am willing to pay 60 euro for this game : more than for this repetitive AAA Titels, over the past decate.

    The strong point of the game.
    - beautiful open world. So much love. The Grafik are not like horizon, but the world can compete with this Titel. But u can discover so much everywhere. Sometimes assets repeat themselves, but it's okay for 20 people, crating this.
    - combat can be fun and frustrating at the same time. But man Kung fu racoon. That's a beautiful funnything. Also u can gain tribal weapons with different combos, that are different than the normal guns and weapon.
    - dressing up, and crafting. Often I find myself lost in crating some new cool weapons and must lough about a new find. A head with rabbit ears or other stuff. So much loot and everything can be useful in its right. Maybe selling, destroy or for materials or use it to revamp a new weapon.
    -interesting element system. U can also combine for example electro and fire, and u create a lot more damage than only with one element. And with ur gun u can stack a 3rd type.
    - wonderful creative stuff. Not only the animals ore enemies are sometime so cool designed. Also ur vehicals can be changed in look and are useful for boss fights and certain situations
    -this game is so different and also the same in questing, as we know from other games. But u search for funny things, that humans needed, and the narrator explaining these things. That can lead to some funny moments.
    - everything is cute and the language of the animals make me lough a lot.
    - the world isn't empty, that's a lie. Their are parts of the world empty, but that's only realistic because in some parts u can't breathe or u are high up in mountains. The only thing that I can say is-a bit more epidemic life would make sense sometimes

    Negative things

    - the voice acting is great but also boring sometimes. Also some lines are repeated. Also in mainquests and side quests.
    - the narrator is a strange thing. Because he is the only voice u can understand in this world.
    - fetch quest are in their. Repeat this, and do this. Bring me wood to re build a city and so on.
    That isn't for everyone. But it's definetly not so much as like in AC games.
    - no lock on camera. Makes fighting harder, but u can get used to it
    - the healing menue isn't intuitive. And the time do not stop, only goes in slow motion. That is tricky in the beginning.
    - ur bad and good behavior do things in the world. But not as much as u think.
    Other villages get destroyed or some people talk differently to u. 101 could do a bit more with it.
    - some decision must be made without any warnings. And can't be changed. That's okay, but not mine.
    - playing the game nearly 30 h now, and I got the feeling u have to play it a 2nd time. NG+ times are not mine either. I am from generation. U can get everything in the first run    … Expand

The world is beautiful but it seems that most of the budget was put into the engine and lead to assets being overly re-used, variety massively lacking, combat being clunky and quests left boring and uninspired.

    The game itself looks amazing and I have to credit the devs for a lot of creative potential which is absolutely shining in this game but this is where the positive vibes already end. The game runs terrible on Playstation consoles. It is a 1080p60fps on PS5 and still has great trouble with stutters, texture pop-ins and occasional hang-ups. Whenever you travel too fast, kill an enemy or there is just too much happening the game freezes for a mere second or has very bad hiccups. Basically this disqualifies a game for me as being good and recommendable.

    Beyond that the introductionary part in this game is horrible. Players get flooded by command prompts within minutes and after that cutscenes happen every few minutes rendering game immersion and "getting used to it" to insignificance. Looking deeper the game falls apart even more because the target aim is all over the place resulting in misses or getting hit. The game is so buggy, that sometimes you do specials but you cant hit because the game engine misses the collision progress. The combat itself tries to be deep by having categories and classes but honestly... it is most of the time just button mashing.

    The UI and UX is also not the best. It seems that is has been tuned to seem modern but lacks practical placement. The menu is not intuitive by any means and you will find yourself pressing the wrong buttons over and over.

    Gamewise I do like my random fetch quests and this is fine after all but the quests are really that bad and the loot is insignificant. I found a handful of weapons on my playthrough the rest must be crafted. Most of the loot is trash and not worth grabbing at all. I think this is especially again for casual players not the best design.

    Now the game comes down to boss fights and where it matters you often dont control your character as usual but you are bound to use a device, mount or something like that. Ontop they tried to layer boss mechanics to make it appealing but failed completely in doing so leading to boss fights that are terrible finnicky and can be frustrating especially for casual players on console controllers.

    Closing with one more very existential point. The story feels very bad, the constant narration gets overloading and the gibberish as well as the words used to describe the "fantasy world" makes it even worse and uninteresting. Half way through the game I just skipped through the dialogues.

    I think there was a lot passion in developing the game but it feels bad to invest full price into a game that is just not worth it at all. I had some fun moments, but mostly I just wanted to get over with it. I do not recommend this game at the moment and even with performance and bug fixes which are needed bothways, the game still lacks. If you are still interested in this game I HIGHLY recommend to wait for at least 50% of sale and lower initial expectations.    … Expand

    For on open-world action RPG developed by a handful of people, Biomutant makes a very striking impression. It’s hard for me to imagine someone not falling in love with the beautiful, unique world conjured up by Experiment 101. Sure, the game as a whole is not perfect, but if a sequel is ever created, I’ll be the first in line to play it. [07/2021, p.38]

    From creating your own character to a wide array of vehicles and a unique world, there’s a lot to love in Biomutant – which makes its shallowness all the more disappointing. The inconsistent battle system and the amount of bugs doesn’t make things any better. While the game certainly knows how to hook you, the fun doesn’t last very long.

    Biomutant tries to do a lot of interesting things. It offers a potentially captivating world and unique crafting mechanics. Even the combat's fine, on the surface. The game, however, doesn't exactly play well, with clumsy controls, repetitive missions and an overemphasis on drawn-out dialogue that bores instead of inspires. This really could (and should) have been a lot better than it is.
